Ritzy Blue Spa and Salon By Whitening Bright Studio

I think the place closed. Had an appointment on the 7^th of dec and showed up and the place was closed, phone disconnected and email down.

The only reason this salon is getting one star is because I had to rate it in order to write my review. GROUPON buyers beware. I scheduled my appointment for a set of Remy lashes per the Groupon that I purchased about a week ago via Ritzy’s website. Two days ago, I received a reminder email of my appointment today 11÷12÷13. Well, ok my fault for not calling and re– confirming my already confirmed appointment. I arrived at Ritzy at about 12:50pm, my appointment was at 1:20pm (wanted to make sure I was on time). I rang the door bell… no answer. Ok, so this salon is by appointment only, understood, so I went back to my car and waited till 1:15 to ring the bell… still no answer, and the lights are off. Now, I finally decide to call, and the listed phone # here on Unilocal,their website, and the Groupon is not in service… the exact message is” This number is temporarily unavailable, if you are the system administrator please press 1 now”. WTF!!! Now I’m pissed… but willing to wait a little longer… the salon looks like it’s still in business… maybe there is something wrong with the phone lines… yeah right. I finally decided to leave at 1:40pm. I’m so disappointed! I’m going to a black tie event with my fiancé, and wanted to look a little extra special… oh by the way, the event is about 3000 miles away. Why post a link on your website to an appointment scheduler if YOU are not going to check it. This is a really horrible way to run your supposed business.

Owner was kind, but I wouldn’t go back because the neighborhood is so scary, Also, owners nails were dirty and she looked disheveled. Sorry, but in the beauty industry, image is everything!

Had an Amazon Local Voucher. Made an appointment for Saturday morning. Showed up and the place was closed and dark. Waited for an hour just to see if someone would show up because I’d driven all the way down there but no one ever showed. THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS AWEFUL! There’s a boarded up building 2 or 3 doors down (attached to the salon space), homeless people walking right by my car with grocery carts and either drugs or prostitution going on 2 doors down from the salon. I watched as black men came and went into a white door and once a young woman in a négligée and robe opened the door to motion to a guy in a car parked behind me. He got out of the car and walked in. Tried calling several times during the week but no one answered the phone and no one ever called back. Amazon Local issued me a refund — wouldn’t think of going back there.

I had a
deal for a teeth whitening. My 1^st and I didn’t know what to expect. All went well and I do see a difference in my teeth. I only gave 3 stars because I have nothing to compare it to… the atmosphere was really pretty, airy and light. As someone else said, DIY décor which is awesome in my book! I think it gives the place a more home-​y welcoming feel instead of being at a place that is just expensively decorated without personality. The music wasn’t soothing «spa-​like» music but it was very good and uplifting. I left in a great upbeat mood! The process itself wasn’t inclusive of a lot of technician attention. basically you get a gel filled teeth mold in your mouth and are in a comfortable chair while a bright light is aimed at your teeth for 60 minutes. The technician was nice. Being there by herself I am sure it was hectic for her to handle by herself but she kept it cool. She would check on me when she got chances. Thankfully because I was drooling all over myself LOL all in all, I can say it was a good experience. I want to go back and get my teeth bright white at some point. I have to admit, I was hoping the outcome would have been more drastic. Original price for the service is $ 299.00. I paid $ 49 due to the dealio I had but I can’t see paying $ 299 for just going barely a shade lighter. I’m going to do some research on the procedure and expected outcome. Thankfully, I am now locked in at my dealio price of $ 49. I’ll do it again at that rate!

I got a deal off of Groupon for a brazillian, so I thought I’d give it a shot. First impressions, the place is nice. Other than the atmosphere, nothing else was nice. The person who took care of me kept leaving the room without any warning, while I am half naked. The waxing itself was awful. This was not my first brazillian, but it hurt way more. After she would pull, she would go back quickly and pull leftover wax, which is the normal way of waxing your LEGS. The other places I’ve gone to pull the strip ands then apply pressure, barely hurts at all. Plus she charged me $ 15 for trimming, which was not advertised in the Groupon. Needless to say, I will NOT be coming back.

Ritzy Blue has a cozy, going to your girlfriend’s kind of feel. You could tell there was personality and thought put into the décor so it had a nice ambiance. Some of the set-​up was different from what you’ll normally expect in a spa. For example, the facial was in an open area, so instead of undressing, you get a plastic cover to protect clothing. I thought it was smart and strange that the towels were being warmed up in a crock pot? The facial itself felt relaxing, and esthetician was professional and knowledgeable. What I wasn’t sure about is that the location is in the middle of nowhere. Plenty of parking, but the neighborhood is sketchy, and you have to be buzzed in. The regular prices are what I’ll expect to see from high end spas, which offers more amenities. Overall, it was not bad, and there could be improvements to make it a better experience.

I gained interest through a Groupon that had a pretty good deal, but didn’t read the fine print. $ 89 for what was only a «flirty» lash extension, basically only half lid of lashes to create a flare look. It was my first time so I didn’t mine, especially since regular price is around $ 200.
The salon itself is pretty nice. Parking right out front and people were on time. Area seems kind of sketchy. The front desk and salon staff were very helpful and made sure I understood what I was getting. Kesha (last extensionist) was nice and explained the steps to me prior to the application.
Now, I’ve been researching and looking at many examples of properly applied lashes and I was excited. However, despite how nice Kesha was, she was not skilled enough to be performing single lash extensions. I couldn’t believe the process took 2 hours for just half lid applications. When I looked in the mirror when she finished, I thought they looked a little wonky, but didn’t say anything. It was my first time so I wasn’t sure if maybe my expectations were too high! When I got home and looked in my magnifying mirror, the lashes were clumped and I looked like I had spiders on my eyes. The lashes were straight and some going in different directions. Some even began to fall off. I had to curl the lashes, which you aren’t supposed to do to get them to look decent. Even my mom told me I wasted my money as they were far from the natural look I was going for. I’ve read reviews that indicate how they are supposed to even feel natural. I feel stiffness and glue on my lashes and they can get caught on clothing/​pillow case/​towel.
I give the salon two stars for appearance and professionalism, but the outcome from the service itself was poor. Really wanted to like this place better. It may be good for facials, but not single lash extensions.

Suzy was awesome! Great staff, atmosphere and service.

Went here today for a Groupon facial deal. First, the Google maps address is wrong. I was a little late because I couldn’t find the place. When I got there and told them, they said a lot of people go to the wrong address. Then maybe they should note it on their site or provide a cross-​street? The area is a little sketchy but has easy parking. The space feels very DIY.
Ebonie was my esthetician and was very nice and professional. I’d definitely go see her again. The atmosphere was ruined because someone was getting a Brazilian in the room next to me and, no exaggeration, screamed and cursed for an HOUR. Ebonie apologized and said it was the client’s first time and was taking forever. The mood and relaxation was totally ruined. This girl sounded like she was being attacked, and frankly the staff should’ve done something about this client who was so over the top, causing a scene and ruined the experience for everyone else who kept inquiring what in the world was wrong with her.
Ebonie was great, and she told me I could get the Groupon rate on future facials. I’ll probably be back.

So I went here after I purchased the lifebooker. I had to check it out.
The surrounding area is not the best so be prepared. Street parking is easy peasy right out front.
I showed up at 1215 for my 1230 apptmt. I have to say, every one of the staff was so nice & accommodating! They all had smiles on their faces & were constantly trying to make sure everything was good.
The spa itself is interesting because its an open air and then a single private room. Everything was cute in the space.
The lady that helped me was really nice. I was in the private room. There’s some improvements they could do but they only have been open for 4 days! They just had the radio on… although they asked me what station I preferred, I think more spa like music could’ve been soothing. They had the incense going and candles to set the mood.
I got in my plastic jumpsuit and was wrapped up in a heating pad basically. I felt like a burrito! Ha! At the end, I was sweating for sure! They gave me water and disposable bra & undies! Nice touch. Also, she kept checking on me to make sure I wasn’t dying… ha!
Overall, it was a super cheap deal in a very new spa that just opened. I have another infrared sauna there so I’ll go back. I am sure as they are open longer, the improvements will come :)
